*Don't know what's wrong with this society. Strange inferiority complexes. This term 'puncture wala' again & again used for Muslims.
*Why this contempt for hard labour? In my society alone, there are over 50 domestic helps, all of them are Hindu. So should on a limited experience
someone can feel that all Hindus are poor. In the several cities, I lived, in localities of all kinds--Hindu majority & Muslim majority, there were always very few Muslim domestic helps. So can on this basis Muslims make conclusion that Hindus are more poor?
*You want to believe that 'Muslims are backward'. You know dozens of educated Muslims too but you are so opinionated that you would call them 'exception' & hence say, 'you don't look like Muslim'
*prejudices, you want to believe it, as it gives cheap satisfaction about self worth
*You grow on prejudices or didn't have adequate experience but still want to believe things that an entire community is backward & poor.
*Though, you know that both communities are huge, hundreds of millions of poor in each. But working hard, self-reliant, respect manual labour.
*Check data or see who are the poorest of poor who die most of malnutrition, who live in countless villages of India, who die most of starvation. Are they Muslims?
*Just believe 'others are poor' & you feel rich. Convenient for your self-esteem, rather than appreciating hard work
More people who die of hunger or the poor & homeless who die because of natural factors--heat or cold in extreme seasons, while sleeping in the open, are Hindu. 'Not own'! They becomes another category--caste or tribe, not 'Hindus'. Biases are acquired too, from society...
...and in our times, TV & social media. Despite under representation in jobs, large number of Muslims worked really hard, stand on feet, become self-reliant.
Perhaps, many get satisfaction to believe that 'I may not be doing great, but the other is doing really bad'.
It's easy to do well when you inherit property or have kin in jobs or parents owning business.
The real heroes are those who start from the scratch or those battling all odds--Hindu or Muslim, puncture wallas or road side vendors, anyone who earns with hard work. Respect them.
*It's very cheap when you make fun of a person who earns living with hard work.
*I didn't even like to give the example (at the beginning of this thread) but sometimes, you've to write certain things because 'entitlement' is such that people just grow on biases & 'generalize'
Slightly different but happens that lot of people in North form weird notions about people from certain regions, looks, habits. Can't broaden vision, stubbornly believe, then it's bias. If you haven't seen, met & from firm opinion based on your limited experience, it's your issue
